From 4583c00236efd4ee768ff874f92526c229891a05 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] patman: Move library functions into a library directory

The patman directory has a number of modules which are used by other tools
in U-Boot. This makes it hard to package the tools using pypi since the
common files must be copied along with the tool that uses them.

To address this, move these files into a new u_boot_pylib library. This
can be packaged separately and listed as a dependency of each tool.
